My 2002 Arctic car had the same fuel smell issue, was fixed in 30 seconds with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07YQ...b_b_asin_title

I wish that was it. First thing I did was put a new cap on. Even went with the shiny chrome one. Didn’t change it. Only does it when it’s a full tank. Changed the “seals” at the filler neck and still nada. From what I’ve googled, it’s the seal in the tank that can’t be changed.

I just dropped the front and rear seats off today to have reupholstered with black/red stitching and they’re installing new porsche seat foams that have the seat heaters in them. Fingers crossed.
Oh! Forgot to mention, the car’s name. Well, I’m a big fan of Beerfest, the movie…and Gamgam, the feisty ol’ German grandma is one of my faves…so her name is Gamgam…

Ok….slight problem, need some input. Seat manufacturer sent the wrong upholstery. They sent sport seat upholstery when I have comfort seats. I’ll take care of that, but that means I will have to wait another 6-8 weeks. So now I’m thinking, maybe I just go aftermarket. The Recaro Orthoped seats look amazing. But can’t find them anywhere. That’s the type of seat I’m after though. This is NOT a race car, so I want something that will be comfy but still sporty. Recommendations?

I am following you on this trip. I also have a 2003 with 30K with a few mods. Pinned coolant lines, water pump, belt, belt pulleys, hoses, o-rings, all exhaust studs, N75 valve, one way vacuum valves, etc. Wired my Valentine One power supply in from the overhead console (night switch/sunroof area), no cord from cig lighter to windshield obstruction. I am ordering 997.2 GT2RS intercoolers from Design911 tomorrow. Read that it is a great bang for your buck. I saw your garage opener switch, what is the part number and where did you get it? Thanks in advance!

I would look for Recaro Sportster seats if looking aftermarket. If not, look for some 997 sport seats with manual forward and aft movement. They have electronic recline that only takes power and ground to work. I have these and they are GREAT! The look nice, comfortable, and do a good job of holding you in the seat. They also compliment the 996 interior.

Not a fan. You like it, it is your car.
